or backrow middle

Answer 3

I would say that you would be a gud setter or a libero. But its always up to the coach. Just ask the coach to come watch you whenever you are practicing and let her decide on which position is best for you. But you can always tell her what position you like too. So that it will help the coach know what you want too.

Answer 4

maybe you should ask your coach to suggest something for you, since its THEIR team after all. they'd know what they're saying.

Answer 5

im 5'6" too, and ive played volleyball for 5 years, and ive been a setter for 3 years.

so i think you should give setter a shot :)

good luck!

Answer 6

5'6 for a girl is not bad but he is a critical question....how is your vertical?  Where do you feel comfortable at.    If you can get up and hit well then become an outside hitter...leave the middle for taller girls....A setter requires good hands...a command of the court and some experience. Since your serve is good a libero might be the best position for you.

My middle blocker was 6'5 and I could reach was better then his...so height means nothing unless you can jump.

Answer 7

Just try out for volleyball and the coach will decide where you fit the the best and place you there. You won't go to try outs trying out for a posistion...you'll be trying out for he team,a dn from their the coach will placee you as needed. Don't worry if you don't have a set posistion right now...it'll come after you have found your nitch....
